If it's easy to count answers, then it must be easy to tell whether there are any answers.

If the Notrump hand rebids a major suit, it's an instant 4-4 fit and ability to trump club losers ( or, alternately, to sluff the other major on club winners and then to trump losers in the other major ).

If they don't win, it's a shame.

O ' Hanlon suggested she write to The Sun, a prominent New York City newspaper at the time, assuring her that " If you see it in The Sun, it's so.

If the upcard is a spade, the hand will count double.

If his bluff fails and he is called, he still might be dealt a spade on the final card and win the showdown ( or he might be dealt another non-spade and try his bluff again, in which case it is a pure bluff on the final round rather than a semi-bluff ).

If South ( declarer ) is on lead he can lead to the queen ; that is, he leads a small spade and, if West plays low, plays the queen from dummy.

If he discards either spade, North's J becomes a winner.

If the five of diamonds is played, East must choose whether to discard the spade three or an intermediate honor.

If he discards a spade, the J is played and South continues with a spade to the ace and the spade eight.

If South had just one spade ( and one less card elsewhere ), he could play it as a means of entering the North hand, enabling it to win six spades tricks.

If the adverse spades are divided 2-1, there are 12 certain tricks ( 6 spade tricks, 2 hearts, 1 diamond, 3 clubs ) and the possibility of a 13th by correctly guessing the two-way finesse ( or dropping the queen ) in hearts.

If one defender keeps two spades then declarer plays a small spade to the J and leads a heart.

If West keeps K x, South puts West on lead with a club to lead away from the spade.

If East plays a spade, declarer cashes the A to set up the spade suit, which he can reach with a club ruff after cashing North's K. If East plays a club, declarer cashes the K, ruffs a club, and has the Ace of spades as an entry to dummy.

If a player fails to follow suit, e. g., clubs are led, player has a club, but plays a spade ( or some other suit ), the player has reneged.

* If it is required to use a single number X as an estimate for the value of numbers, then the arithmetic mean does this best, in the sense of minimizing the sum of squares ( x < sub > i </ sub > − X )< sup > 2 </ sup > of the residuals.

If the appellate court does find a legal defect in the decision " below " ( i. e., in the lower court ), it may " modify " the ruling to correct the defect, or it may nullify (" reverse " or " vacate ") the whole decision or any part of it.

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

* Let Q be a set enclosed between two step regions S and T. A step region is formed from a finite union of adjacent rectangles resting on a common base, i. e. S ⊆ Q ⊆ T. If there is a unique number c such that a ( S ) ≤ c ≤ a ( T ) for all such step regions S and T, then a ( Q )

If the resulting four kilobyte table size is too large for a given target platform, the table lookup operation can be performed with a single 256-entry 32-bit ( i. e. 1 kilobyte ) table by the use of circular rotates.

If a description of s, d ( s ), is of minimal length ( i. e. it uses the fewest number of characters ), it is called a minimal description of s. Thus, the length of d ( s ) ( i. e. the number of characters in the description ) is the Kolmogorov complexity of s, written K ( s ).

If the object point be infinitely distant, all rays received by the first member of the system are parallel, and their intersections, after traversing the system, vary according to their perpendicular height of incidence, i. e. their distance from the axis.

If the ratio a '/ a be sufficiently constant, as is often the case, the above relation reduces to the condition of Airy, i. e. tan w '/ tan w = a constant.

If we define r < sub > i </ sub > as the displacement of particle i from the center of mass, and v < sub > i </ sub > as the velocity of particle i with respect to the center of mass, then we have

If ( m, n ) is regular and M and N have i and j prime factors respectively, then ( m, n ) is said to be of type ( i, j ).

If the auction is passed out, i. e. no bids are made and only four passes are called, the hands are abandoned and the turn to deal passes in rotation.

If a Banach algebra has unit 1, then 1 cannot be a commutator ; i. e., for any x, y ∈ A.

If your side has two aces and a void, then you are not at risk of losing the first two tricks, so long as ( a ) your void is useful ( i. e., does not duplicate the function of an ace that your side holds ) and ( b ) you are not vulnerable to the loss of the first two tricks in the fourth suit ( because, for instance, one of the partnership hands holds a singleton in that suit or the protected king, giving your side second round control ).

If one eigenvalue is negative ( i. e., an imaginary frequency ), then the stationary point is a transition structure.

If both high priority substituents are on the same side of the double bond, i. e. in the cis configuration, then the stereoisomer is assigned a Z or Zusammen configuration.

If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is thrown on the come-out roll ( i. e., if a point is set ), most casinos allow pass line bettors to take odds by placing from one to five times ( and at some casinos, up to 100 times ) the pass line bet behind the pass line.

If two cofinal subsets of B have minimal cardinality ( i. e. their cardinality is the cofinality of B ), then they are order isomorphic to each other.

* If is the norm ( usually noted as ) defined in the sequence space ℓ < sup >∞</ sup > of all bounded sequences ( which also matches the non-linear distance measured as the maximum of distances measured on projections into the base subspaces, without requiring the space to be isotropic or even just linear, but only continuous, such norm being definable on all Banach spaces ), and is lower triangular non-singular ( i. e., ) then

If the glass is cooled quickly in the absence of a strong light source by putting ice on the glass or placing it in the freezer with the door almost closed, it turns backwards ( i. e. the silver sides trail ).
